The Ray Covers in Black and White



With issue # Shipping on Wednesday the 22nd, (I'll be working and flying to london for the London Super Comic con, I thought I'd present the original pencils and inks for the Ray covers.





As you can see i did a lot of cover sketches for each issue.
You'll notice a different hair line for the original pencils for issue 1's cover. DC decided they wanted the more"bald" look after the fact and I obliged. 











I played with the sizing to get the effect right for the cover for issue # 3.






All the covers were inked traditionally with brush and pen. As tight as the pencils are there's a level of solidity required for the digital treatment and I dont have a Cintiq yet. I will be experimenting in the near future with Digital inking.

Person of Interest

One of the advantages of being freelance is being able to juggle multiple jobs at once. One such job was a sketch that appeared on last night's episode of the TV series "Person of interest" on CBS.
The synopsis:

In the Night

Reese (Jim Caviezel, left) is on the case when The Machine identifies Darren (Astro, right), a teenager whose brother was just murdered, as the next POI. Meanwhile, Finch is growing concerned that the son of his former business partner is dangerously close to finding out about The Machine, on PERSON OF INTEREST. Photo: John P.

Darren, a budding artist and comic book fan, had a prop notebook of sketches and the above sketch was used as the final "hero shot" in the episode.
